Jon, Jon, Jon... since you have complained about Vellum and it's complex CSS before, did you ever take the time to look through the CSS to see exactly what classes are attempting to do? Did you look at the media queries to see what they are trying to do? Gentle hint, few of them are needed for any ePub renderers, the majority are attempting to allow mobi and azw3 ebooks on devices with different screen sizes/resolutions to be look acceptable.

The advanced coding is not needed for most ebooks but I have seen it used by other publishers. Standard Ebooks is the only one that gave me the option of choosing which I wanted (KISS ePub, KISS ePub that has been kepubified or state of the art which most renderers will not handle ePub).
